What is thy onely comfort in life and death?

That both in soule, & body,a whether I liue or die,b I am not mine own, but belongc wholy vnto my most faithful Lord & Sauiour Iesus Christ: who by his precious blood most fullie satisfyingd for all my sinnes hath deliuerede mee from all the power of the diuell, and so reseruethf me, that without the will of my heauenly Father, not so much as a haire may falg from my head: yea all thinges musth serue for my safety. Wherefore by his Spirit also he assurethi mee of euerlasting life, and makethj me ready, and prepared, that henceforth I may liue to him.
